Chassapis Constantin
Position: Researcher, National Observatory of Athens PhD: 1967, Dept. of Physics, University of Athens, Greece Thesis: Greek astronomy in the second millenium BC according to the Orphic hymns Supervisor(s): Karapiperis Leonidas Biography: C. Chassapis (b. 4/17 Sept. 1914 Veroia, Greece – d. 10 July 1972, Athens, Greece). For many years he worked as school teacher at a small mountainous village and later at Papastratos School in the town of Agrinion, but his passion was astronomy. Equipped with his small telescope, he became an excellent observer of variable stars. After the Second World War his high quality observations raised Campbell’s interest, who would like to know the status of this excellent observer. So, in 1946 Chassapis having been recognized as amateur astronomer he succeeded his transfer to Athens and especially his position as astronomer at Penteli Observatory. Later he finished his studies in the Department of Mathematics at Athens University. He was widely appreciated for his public lectures on astronomical topics as well as for his popular articles in daily and periodical press and encyclopaidias. His first book on astronomy “The Life on planet Mars” has been published in 1935 and his voluminous “Contemporary popular astronomy” (p. 835) in 1957; a summary of the latter was the new book of “Cosmography” for high schools (join work with D. Kotsakis). His major contributions were “Greek astronomy in the 2nd millennium B.C. according to Orphic hymns” (PhD Thesis at Athens University, 1967), “The Star of Bethlehem” (1970), continued in the (till now) unpublished “Determination of the Date of Jesus Christ’s Resurrection” (1971). After his sudden death in 1972, his student Maria Papathanassiou has published long articles-summaries of his work. During this last years he collaborated with Eugenides Foundation lecturing either in the Planetarium or the great Amphitheatre.

Christodoulou Demetrios
Position: Faculty, ETH Zürich PhD: 1971, Dept. of Physics, Princeton University, USA Thesis: Investigations in gravitational collapse and the physics of black holes Supervisor(s): Wheeler John Archibald Biography: Demetrios Christodoulou (Greek: Δημήτριος Χριστοδούλου; born October 19, 1951[1]) is a Greek mathematician and physicist, who first became well known for his proof, together with Sergiu Klainerman, of the nonlinear stability of the Minkowski spacetime of special relativity in the framework of general relativity. Christodoulou was born in Athens and received his doctorate in physics from Princeton University in 1971 under the direction of John Archibald Wheeler.[2] After temporary positions at Caltech, CERN, and the Max Planck Institute for Physics, he became Professor of Mathematics, first at Syracuse University, then at the Courant Institute, and at Princeton University, before taking up his current position as Professor of Mathematics and Physics at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Achievements: In 1993, he published a book coauthored with Klainerman in which the extraordinarily difficult proof of the stability result is laid out in detail. In that year, he was named a MacArthur Fellow. In 1991, he published a paper which shows that the test masses of a gravitational wave detector suffer permanent relative displacements after the passage of a gravitational wave train, an effect which has been named "nonlinear memory effect". In the period 1987–1999 he published a series of papers on the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric self-gravitating scalar field and the formation of black holes and associated spacetime singularities. He also showed that, contrary to what had been expected, singularities which are not hidden in a black hole also occur.[7] However, he then showed that such "naked singularities" are unstable.[8] In 2000, Christodoulou published a book on general systems of partial differential equations deriving from a variational principle (or "action principle"). In 2007, he published a book on the formation of shock waves in 3-dimensional fluids. In 2009 he published a book where a result which complements the stability result is proved. Namely, that a sufficiently strong flux of incoming gravitational waves leads to the formation of a black hole. Awards: Christodoulou is a recipient of the Bôcher Memorial Prize, a prestigious award of the American Mathematical Society. The Bôcher Prize citation mentions his work on the spherically symmetric scalar field as well as his work on the stability of Minkowski spacetime. In 2008 he was awarded the Tomalla prize in gravitation.[10] In 2011, he and Richard S. Hamilton won the Shaw Prize in the Mathematical Sciences, "for their highly innovative works on nonlinear partial differential equations in Lorentzian and Riemannian geometry and their applications to general relativity and topology". The citation for Christodoulou mentions his work on the formation of black holes by gravitational waves as well as his earlier work on the spherically symmetric self-gravitating scalar field and his work with Klainerman on the stability of Minkowski spacetime. Christodoulou is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. In 2014 he was a plenary speaker at the ICM in Seoul.
